Two down, 10 to go!
The Masked Singer just revealed another celeb singer, and it’s one we saw coming before he even started singing. The Pineapple, a stoner who recently overcame a terrible illness, turned out to be Tommy Chong, meaning Jenny McCarthy actually guessed it correctly.
Tommy/The Pineapple had faced off against The Raven, a former talk show host who recently suffered a personal tragedy and was hoping to honor her “beloved” with her performance. The consensus on Twitter seemed to be that it’s Ricki Lake, whose ex-husband died in 2017.
Tonight, we also got performances from The Rabbit, The Alien, The Poodle, and The Bee, meaning we’ve now heard every single competitor sing, and we’re still racking our brains to figure out who each of them is. We’ve broken down the clues in the gallery below, so keep on scrolling to join us in having no idea what’s going on but enjoying it all the same!

The Monster
Week 1: Performed “Don’t Stop Me Now”
The Clues: Male, he’s a monster because that’s what the world labeled him, here to rewrite his mixtape to prove that he’s more than just “puff and fluff,” was at the top of his game but the game turned on him so he retreated into a cave to take a break from the public eye, now here to set the record straight to show the world that no one can stop him, says he’s not a professional singer “to everyone.”
An unexpectedly great performance!
Our Best Guess: Honestly, we’re stumped, but Twitter seems to be into T-Pain.

The Deer

He also said “Ravens beware,” and had to “take the fifth” when the panel asked if he played in the NFL.
Our Best Guess: Another football player, perhaps Terry Bradshaw?
Fox

The Raven
Week 2: Performed “Rainbow” by Kesha
The Clues: Spent her life listening to other people’s stories and now wants to share hers, always been a sunny kind of person, never had trouble getting an audience, no one talks more than her, but recently suffered a tragic loss, so this show gives an opportunity to honor “my beloved,” found beauty in the darkness, like a phoenix from the ashes, I will rise up and find a light, so “don’t cry, baby, this one’s for you.” Dressed like a raven in a cage, says she’s a lover not a fighter and that she did host a talk show.
Our Best Guess: Ricki Lake, and Twitter seems to agree.
Fox
The Poodle
Performed “Heartbreaker” by Pat Benatar
The Clues: Ever since she was a little girl she’s loved to be on stage and to take on a character. She picked a poodle because it’s sassy, smart, and best in show. She loves San Francisco and comes from a musical family, but she’s known for a different talent. She loves exercising her right to free speech and rainbows are involved. She’s returning to musical roots to show a side never seen before, and to figure her out we’re all going to have to WORK. She says “I’m here for your honor.”
Our Best Guess: Absolutely no idea, and nothing on Twitter made sense either. Margaret Cho? Ali Wong? A drag queen? What does “I’m here for your honor” mean?!
Fox
The Bee
Performed “Chandelier” by Sia
The Clues: Has had a long career, flown to soaring heights, says she never wants to stop doing what she loves and that being a “worker bee” keeps her young.
